CodeLoader Bug (LMX2332)

Gregor Dreijer

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CODELOADER

Hi,

I believe I have found a bug in the CodeLoader tool. I am using it to program an LMX2332 device.

The programming works (using the USB adapter) but the Hex Values shown under the Registers Tab are not correct. The bit fields are shown correctly (and this is what is programmed to the device), but they do not match the Hex Value shown. See the attached image. For eg. The bit fields for the IF_R translate to a value of 0x00160640, while the tool shows a hex value of 0x00560640

I was trying to use the Hex Value to program the device using another programmer which showed the error.

Maybe this can be fixed in the next update of the tool?

Thanks,
Greg

Hi Gregor,

Thank you for your interest in our products.

When you export the register values into a text file are the correct values showing there but, not on the register tab?

Could you provide the RF PLL/IF PLL settings?

Thanks,

Julian

Hi,

The exported values in the text file are also incorrect.

The settings are as follows:

Hi Greg,

This device is obsolete. We probably won't update code loader. We are also moving to TICS Pro, our newest software to program our PLLs & Synthesizers.

Hi Greg,

It is an error the value should be 0x0160640, however code loader programs the device based with the binary values, which the ones shown are correct.
